Does anyone have any info on Prince 2011?

[(K)evin]

If anyone has any info on Prince for 2011 that would be greatly appreciated. I wanna buy a set of prince racquets and was looking at the ignite team as I demo'd it (to customize) but if they are coming out with frames like the ignite again or possibly a exo3 diablo I'd love to wait to get those instead

When I was in the tennis store yesterday, the prince rep was in there showing the new tour frames. Unfortunately I dont know much about Prince frames, but, he mentioned that all the players are switching to these frames (well PJ'ing to the new frame). From the looks of them they were all pretty thin, and had some interesting color ways. Sorry there was more said about the holes, etc but since I am not up on Prince frames it was all greek to me.

Sorry I know that doesnt help much.

I was present during the Prince Reps demo of all the new items. They have a lot of new stuff! But not being a Prince racket user; it was not that interesting to me. They have updated the slim frame orange racket - I forgot who is going to use it however. Plus, they have many other new frames that are updates on their present frames. The original graphics is gone. No Diablo update or re-make! A lot of the teaching pros that play matches are still using this frame in their play and use a modern Prince for teaching. They have a new replacement grip to slim down a grip size. A lot of new stuff that I just do not have the time or concentration to mention here.

well when you have time could you let me know I really am stressing about buying a racquet I don't have one as my K90 has cracked and have been using a prince ignite team demo and really like but dont want to purchase if new racquets are coming out to update the current line and I need to practice during the winter.. thank you for the information

I think he talked about all them being around 10oz too. Had I thought of it I would have paid more attention. Not that I am intrigued by Prince at all, but its nice to help people out.

My advice is wait, im sure someone on here will post photos and specs of the new racquets. I think the rep said they're due for a Feb release? (I could be wrong). Good luck dude

what do you mean 3 tours?! and why not ignites? are the tours different specs? and if no ignites do you think I should buy them now?

I find it interesting that they aren't releasing a Rebel Tour (or something like that) with the open string pattern as I know a lot of people would like to see that frame happen. I am curious to see the new PJ on the Rebel though.

If you want Ignites, get them now!

3 EXO3 tour frames. one with an open 16x18, one dense 18x20 and one light one.

The Rebels looked the same in the photos.

Just out of curiosity, are they bringing back the Tour OS?

If you would look around, there is a thread at the top of the page about the 2011 Prince racquets that are being tested by forum members right now!

Cheers,
